Answer:

C. Add all the force vectors

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the forces on the object.

Remember, Newton's first law tells us a body at rest will remain at rest or that in uniform motion will continue in motion unless acted by unbalanced forces.These unbalanced forces act in all direction towards the body thus to get the net force you require a summation of all these force with respect to their magnitudes and directions.

For example a force of 3N towards the East direction acting on a body and another force of 2N towards the West direction on the same body will generate a net force of 1N towards the East direction.

A dog has a mass of 20 kg. If the dog is pushed across the ice with a force of 40 N, what is its acceleration?

olasank [31]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2 m/s2.

Explanation:

We calculate the acceleration (a), with the data of mass (m) and force (F), through the formula:

F = m x a ---> a= F/m

a = 40 N/20 kg <em> 1N= 1 kg x m/s2</em>

a= 40 kgx m/s2/ 20 kg

Death Star has a diameter of 160,000m and a mass of 5.1e17kg. Millennium Falcon has a mass of 1.36e6kg (data from Wookieepedia)

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

7229 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Death Star and the Millenium Falcon is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg$ is the mass of the Death Star

$m=1.36\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the Millennium Falcon

$R=\frac{160,000 m}{2}=80,000 m$ is the radius of the Death Star

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.36\cdot 10^6 kg)(5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg)}{(80,000 m)^2}=7229 N$
